Solubilization and thermodynamic properties of simvastatin in various micellar solutions of different non-ionic surfactants: Computational modeling and solubilization capacity.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to solubilize simvastatin (SIM) using different micellar solutions of various non-ionic surfactants such as Tween-80 (T80), Tween-20 (T20), Myrj-52 (M52), Myrj-59 (M59), Brij-35 (B35) and Brij-58 (B58). The solubility of SIM in water (H2O) and different micellar concentrations of T80, T20, M52, M59, B35 and B58 was determined at temperatures T = 300.2 K to 320.2 K under atmospheric pressure p = 0.1 MPa using saturation shake flask method. The experimental solubility data of SIM was regressed using van't Hoff and Apelblat models. The solubility of SIM (mole fraction) was recorded highest in M59 (1.54 x 10-2) followed by M52 (6.56 x 10-3), B58 (5.52 x 10-3), B35 (3.97 x 10-3), T80 (1.68 x 10-3), T20 (1.16 x 10-3) [the concentration of surfactants was 20 mM in H2O in all cases] and H2O (1.94 x 10-6) at T = 320.2 K. The same results were also recorded at each temperature and each micellar concentration of T80, T20, M52, M59, B35 and B58. "Apparent thermodynamic analysis" showed endothermic and entropy-driven dissolution/solubilization of SIM in H2O and various micellar solutions of T80, T20, M52, M59, B35 and B58.

Mechanism of the Micellar Solubilization of Curcumin by Mixed Surfactants of SDS and Brij35 via NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:The micellar solubilization mechanism of curcumin by mixed surfactants of SDS and Brij35 was investigated at the molecular scale by NMR spectroscopy. Through the investigation of the micelle formation process, types and structures of mixed micelles and solubilization sites, the intrinsic factors influencing the solubilization capacity were revealed. For systems with αSDS = 0.5 and 0.2, the obtained molar solubilization ratios (MSRs) are consistent with the MSRideal values. However, for αSDS = 0.8, the solubilization capacity of curcumin is weakened compared to the MSRideal. Furthermore, only one single mixed SDS/Brij35 micelles are formed for αSDS = 0.5 and 0.2. However, for αSDS = 0.8, there are separate SDS-rich and Brij35-rich mixed micelles formed. In addition, NOESY spectra show that the interaction patterns of SDS and Brij35 in mixed micelles are similar for three systems, as are the solubilization sites of curcumin. Therefore, for αSDS = 0.5 and 0.2 with single mixed micelles formed, the solubility of curcumin depends only on the mixed micelle composition, which is almost equal to the surfactant molar ratio. Although curcumin is solubilized in both separate micelles at αSDS = 0.8, a less stable micelle structure may be responsible for the low solubility. This study provides new insights into the investigation and application of mixed micelle solubilization.

Solubilization of therapeutic agents in micellar nanomedicines.

Project description:We use atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to reveal the binding mechanisms of therapeutic agents in PEG-ylated micellar nanocarriers (SSM). In our experiments, SSM in buffer solutions can solubilize either ?11 small bexarotene molecules or ?6 (2 in low ionic strength buffer) human vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) molecules. Free energy calculations reveal that molecules of the poorly water-soluble drug bexarotene can reside at the micellar ionic interface of the PEG corona, with their polar ends pointing out. Alternatively, they can reside in the alkane core center, where several bexarotene molecules can self-stabilize by forming a cluster held together by a network of hydrogen bonds. We also show that highly charged molecules, such as VIP, can be stabilized at the SSM ionic interface by Coulombic coupling between their positively charged residues and the negatively charged phosphate headgroups of the lipids. The obtained results illustrate that atomistic simulations can reveal drug solubilization character in nanocarriers and be used in efficient optimization of novel nanomedicines.

Cloud point extraction of chlorophylls from spinach leaves using aqueous solutions of non-ionic surfactants.

Project description:Chlorophylls and their derivatives are currently used in a wide range of applications. To replace the volatile organic solvents commonly applied for their extraction from biomass, aqueous solutions of non-ionic surfactants are studied herein in the extraction of chlorophylls from spinach leaves. Aqueous solutions of several surfactants were screened, demonstrating that their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) plays the pivotal role on the extraction performance, with the best results obtained for surfactants with a HLB ranging between 10 and 13. A response surface methodology (RSM) was then used to optimize operational conditions (surfactant concentration, solid-liquid ratio and temperature), leading to a maximum extraction yield of chlorophylls of 0.94 mg/g. After the extraction step, the chlorophylls-rich extract was concentrated by heating above the surfactant-water cloud point, leading to the separation into two-phases, and to a concentration factor of 9 and a recovery of 97% of chlorophylls in the surfactant-rich phase. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was finally appraised, showing that the antioxidant activity of the aqueous chlorophylls-rich extracts is higher than that obtained with volatile organic solvents. The obtained results show the potential of aqueous solutions of non-ionic surfactants to extract highly hydrophobic compounds from biomass and their possible direct use in cosmetic and nutraceutical applications, without requiring an additional recovery or purification step.

Understanding the solubilization of Ca acetylide with a new computational model for ionic pairs.

Project description:The unique reactivity of the acetylenic unit in DMSO gives rise to ubiquitous synthetic methods. We theoretically consider CaC2 solubility and protolysis in DMSO and formulate a strategy for CaC2 activation in solution-phase chemical transformations. For this, we use a new strategy for the modeling of ionic compounds in strongly coordinating solvents combining Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics with the DFTB3-D3(BJ) Hamiltonian and static DFT computations at the PBE0-D3(BJ)/pob-TZVP-gCP level. We modeled the thermodynamics of CaC2 protolysis under ambient conditions, taking into account its known heterogeneity and considering three polymorphs of CaC2. We give a theoretical basis for the existence of the elusive intermediate HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Ca-OH and show that CaC2 insolubility in DMSO is of thermodynamic nature. We confirm the unique role of water and specific properties of DMSO in CaC2 activation and explain how the activation is realized. The proposed strategy for the utilization of CaC2 in sustainable organic synthesis is outlined.

Aggregate-based sub-CMC Solubilization of Hexadecane by Surfactants.

Project description:Solubilization of hexadecane by two surfactants, SDBS and Triton X-100, at concentrations near the critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the related aggregation behavior was investigated in this study. Solubilization was observed at surfactant concentrations lower than CMC, and the apparent solubility of hexadecane increased linearly with surfactant concentration for both surfactants. The capacity of SDBS to solubilize hexadecane is stronger at concentrations below CMC than above CMC. In contrast, Triton X-100 shows no difference. The results of dynamic light scattering (DLS) and cryogenic TEM analysis show aggregate formation at surfactant concentrations lower than CMC. DLS-based size of the aggregates (d) decreases with increasing surfactant concentration. Zeta potential of the SDBS aggregates decreases with increasing SDBS concentration, whereas it increases for Triton X-100. The surface excess (?) of SDBS calculated based on hexadecane solubility and aggregate size data increases rapidly with increasing bulk concentration, and then asymptotically approaches the maximum surface excess (?max). Conversely, there is only a minor increase in ? for Triton X-100. Comparison of ? and d indicates that excess of surfactant molecules at aggregate surface has great impact on surface curvature. The results of this study demonstrate formation of aggregates at surfactant concentrations below CMC for hexadecane solubilization, and indicate the potential of employing low-concentration strategy for surfactant application such as remediation of HOC contaminated sites.

Thermodynamic Mechanism and Interfacial Structure of Kaolinite Intercalation and Surface Modification by Alkane Surfactants with Neutral and Ionic Head Groups.

Project description:Intercalation and surface modification of clays with surfactants are the essential process to tailor the clays' surface chemistry for their extended applications. A full understanding of the interaction mechanism of surfactants with clay surfaces is crucial to engineer clay surfaces for meeting a particular requirement of industrial applications. In this study, the thermodynamic mechanism involved in the intercalation and surface modification of methanol preintercalated kaolinite by three representative alkane surfactants with different head groups, dodecylamine, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), and sodium stearate, were investigated using the adaptive biasing force accelerated molecular dynamics simulations. In addition, the interaction energies of surfactants with an interlayer environment (alumina surface, siloxane surface, and interlayer methanol) of methanol preintercalated kaolinite were also calculated. It was found that the intercalation free energy of CTAC with a cationic head group was relatively larger than that of stearate with an anionic head group and dodecylamine with a neutral head group. The attractive electrostatic and van der Waals interactions of surfactants with an interlayer environment contributed to the intercalation and surface modification process with the electrostatic force playing the significant role. This study revealed the underlying mechanism involved in the intercalation and surface modification process of methanol preintercalated kaolinite by surfactants, which can help in further design of kaolinite-based organic clays with desired properties for specific applications.

Micellar Aggregation Behavior of Alkylaryl Sulfonate Surfactants for Enhanced Oil Recovery.

Project description:Alkylaryl sulfonate is a typical family of surfactants used for chemically enhanced oil recovery (EOR). While it has been widely used in surfactant-polymer flooding at Karamay Oilfield (40 °C, salinity 14,000 mg/L), its aggregation behavior in aqueous solutions and the contribution of aggregation to EOR have not been investigated so far. In this study, raw naphthenic arylsulfonate (NAS) and its purified derivatives, alkylaryl monosulfonate (AMS) and alkylaryl disulfonate (ADS), were examined under simulated temperature and salinity environment of Karamay reservoirs for their micellar aggregation behavior through measuring surface tension, micellar size, and micellar aggregation number. It was found that all three alkylaryl sulfonate surfactants could significantly lower the surface tension of their aqueous solutions. Also, it has been noted that an elevation both in temperature and salinity reduced the surface tension and critical micellar concentration. The results promote understanding of the performance of NAS and screening surfactants in EOR.

Collection of Partition Coefficients in Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide, Sodium Cholate, and Lithium Perfluorooctanesulfonate Micellar Solutions: Experimental Determination and Computational Predictions.

Project description:This study focuses on determining the partition coefficients (logP) of a diverse set of 63 molecules in three distinct micellar systems: hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB), sodium cholate (SC), and lithium perfluorooctanesulfonate (LPFOS). The experimental log p values were obtained through micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) experiments, conducted under controlled pH conditions. Then, Quantum Mechanics (QM) and machine learning approaches are proposed for the prediction of the partition coefficients in these three micellar systems. In the applied QM approach, the experimentally obtained partition coefficients were correlated with the calculated values for the case of the 15 solvent mixtures. Using Density Function Theory (DFT) with the B3LYP functional, we calculated the solvation free energies of 63 molecules in these 16 solvents. The combined data from the experimental partition coefficients in the three micellar formulations showed that the 1-propanol/water combination demonstrated the best agreement with the experimental partition coefficients for the SC and HTAB micelles. Moreover, we employed the SVM approach and k-means clustering based on the generation of the chemical descriptor space. The analysis revealed distinct partitioning patterns associated with specific characteristic features within each identified class. These results indicate the utility of the combined techniques when we want an efficient and quicker model for predicting partition coefficients in diverse micelles.

Towards Rational Biosurfactant Design-Predicting Solubilization in Rhamnolipid Solutions.

Project description:The efficiency of micellar solubilization is dictated inter alia by the properties of the solubilizate, the type of surfactant, and environmental conditions of the process. We, therefore, hypothesized that using the descriptors of the aforementioned features we can predict the solubilization efficiency, expressed as molar solubilization ratio (MSR). In other words, we aimed at creating a model to find the optimal surfactant and environmental conditions in order to solubilize the substance of interest (oil, drug, etc.). We focused specifically on the solubilization in biosurfactant solutions. We collected data from literature covering the last 38 years and supplemented them with our experimental data for different biosurfactant preparations. Evolutionary algorithm (EA) and kernel support vector machines (KSVM) were used to create predictive relationships. The descriptors of biosurfactant (logPBS, measure of purity), solubilizate (logPsol, molecular volume), and descriptors of conditions of the measurement (T and pH) were used for modelling. We have shown that the MSR can be successfully predicted using EAs, with a mean R2val of 0.773 ± 0.052. The parameters influencing the solubilization efficiency were ranked upon their significance. This represents the first attempt in literature to predict the MSR with the MSR calculator delivered as a result of our research.
